c s' une., e conrona'rron or, NEW-YORK 1 ganarmas/rnd This invention relates to new yand usefulA improvements in receptacles, and` morey particularly to a display receptacle, the vmain object .of Hthepresent inventionv being'the provision ojf-t` af receptacle 6r retainer Afor hair nets and Varticles of the like character Whereby the quality and character of the goods can be displayed Without the necessity of gaining access to the interior of the receptacle. v Another object of the present invention is the provision of a receptacle comprising a single strip of material folded intermediate its ends, one side portion being provided With an opening to display the contents of the receptacle and the ends lof the stripbeing secured together by interengaging" flaps. Another .object of this invention is the provision of a receptacle formed of a single strip of material so folded that the exterior when folded can be used for advertising purposes and one side Wall is provided with an opening to display the goods contained Within the receptacle and the interior of the receptacle may be -used for describing the character of the goods, instructions, etc., as the receptacle itself will be formed of light Weight cardboard material which Will make it very simple in construction and sive to manufacture. Y

With the above and other objects in View,

the invention consists in the novel Vfeatures* of construction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter more fully set forth, pointed out in the claims and shownA vYlISf@ slits 4 forming tabs vvhilef the front inexpen-f,

' @am eventim lI provvide blank of han weis-heartland 'orf-other vention b'e'carried outiiithe same The blankisv folded on the line;v l'v atitsjintermediateyportion so that "its twof-'endspform aback'portioniwad a front-parten aant 121.0611# efh' iside of" the blank 'with trans'- .portionf of i the' receptacle is provided" adf5 cent each end With longitudinal slits'ilf'c'iri'n-y ingtabs 7. `From the arrangement ofthe slits 4c and 6, it will be noted .that When the front and backl portion are brought ato-f gether, the tabs Will be arranged Wit-hin'the opposing slits as illustrated in Figs.- land' 3 to lock the front and rearportion of the receptacle in a closed position` and as the tabs are resilient, the material being of 4a suitable pliable material, the tabs can be,v

readily disengaged from each other to gain access to the interior of the receptacle.

This receptacle can be used for conta-ining various types of articles, but in the present instance I have shown a receptacle espe-l cially adapted for the purpose of containing and displayinghair nets andv in c'arryf ing out this form of the invention, the hair net is first folded into a receptacle member 8 which is formed of tissue paper or similar material and provided with an opening 9 in one Wall thereofto display the contents of the receptacleand in order that the portions ofthe hair net Which are exposed by the opening 9 may be seen from the exterior of the main receptacle, a semi-circular open-y ing l0 is formed in the frontivalll 3 of the Amain receptacle so that when the front and rear portions of the main receptacle are secured togetherlat `their outer edges, the hair ,net Within the receptacle 8 will be displayed through the opening 10 as clearly illustrated It Will be noted in the present instance that the openingfl() is semi-circular inform, preferably made Ythis shapeto conform to the shape of the opening 9 `in the 'innere Wrapper orreceptaclc 10, but I Wish it to 110.

be understood that any suitable shape of enl esY

opening can be used in the main receptacle and also in the small receptacle which contains the goods. It will alsoY be apparent that while I have shown an auxiliary receptacle 8 adapted to beV placed within the main receptacle for containing the goods, the goods themselves may be arranged within the main receptacle and displayed through the opening 10 without the requirement of an auxiliary receptacle for the goods, it all depending upon the type and character of the goods tobe displayed.

Iwish it to be understood that while I havejshown and described the main receptacle as formed from a rectangular blank, any desirable shape may be used as long as the goods contained within the receptacle are displayed through an opening in one side of the receptacle and the ends of the receptacle provided with opposed flap members adapted to be interengaged to retain the side flaps in their relatively closed positions as shown in Figs. l and 3. It will also be apparent that any desirable material may be used in the making up of the I claim:

l. A receptacle of the class described including a strip folded lengthwise, interine` diate of its ends to form a receptacle, an auxiliary receptacle disposed between the folded portions of the main receptacle, said auxiliary receptacle having an opening to disclose the contents thereof, the main receptacle being provided with an opening upon one side whereby to display thei con` tents of the auxiliar. receptacle and interengaging means for etachablyisecuring the ends of the strip to retain the side wall-s thereof in a folded position'and whereby to retain the auxiliary receptaclev in position within the main receptacle.

2. A receptacle for hair nets, comprising an inner receptacle and an outer folded receptacle, said receptacle being provided with 1 registered openings, transverse, tabs formed at oney en-d of said outer receptacle, longitudinal tabs formed at the other end thereof for engagement for locking said receptacle in closed position.

In testimony whereof I aliix my signature.
